Posted by Jim | March 20, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

An Excellent and Professional Attorney

Robert represented me in my divorce and is now helping me 5 years later to address post divorce issues. Having not experienced divorce previously, Robert was great in helping me understand and navigate the divorce process. During most of the divorce, I was working internationally in distant time zone...s. Robert was always flexible in arranging calls to accommodate the 12 hour time zone difference. He was always organized, efficient and professional at all times. Robert is a very client focused attorney that always makes you feel like you are his most important client.

Posted by Ramon | October 01, 2014 | Divorce & Separation

understanding of the law is quite impressive as well as his toughness and sharp mind in court

My divorce had been going on for almost two long years; it was not until I hired Mr. Kohlman (after three previous attorneys) that things finally are starting to going in my favor. Mr. Kohlman’s knowledge and understanding of the law is quite impressive as well as his toughness and sharp mind in c...ourt. All the things that had been thrown against me, Mr. Kohlman has been quick to destroy with solid and convincing arguments and has placed the other side in a very difficult position.

"Robert is a gifted trial lawyer who knows how to navigate the courtroom and is a zealous advocate for his clients. The true test of a talented trial lawyer is their ability to preserve the record and since Robert is an appellate lawyer as well, with a number of reported decisions, he will utilize his appellate skills in the courtroom for the benefit of his clients.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
